+--- Thread: Can comfort act as a remote control extender for sky box (/thread-2177.html)
- nickbg - 02-23-2011
Currently I have a Global loftbox that until yesterday was working fine with all the sky eyes. It would now appear that the loftbox does not want to pass enough voltage to each sky eye. (pictures and sound all still perfect, just can\'t control the sky box)
Using infra red transmiter and receivers for comfort, can comfort effectively relay sky infra red signals from the sky remote to an infra red transmitter mounted in the ceiling (in view of sky box)
So what I am trying to say in simple terms is :- can I have an infrared receiver mounted in each room, linked back to comfort, and then an infrared transmitter in the lounge that is visible to the sky box ? and if so what else would I require to get this working?
Cheers
Nick

Comfort does not relay IR signals, it is not an IR distribution system
Comfort can function as a IR receiver only for Comfort IR codes (from the RC01) which can trigger other IR signals to be sent, (probably including Sky)
You could program RC01 keys to cause Sky IR signals to be sent to the IR Dome IR transmitter to control the Sky box. But you cannot use the Sky remote control to do the same
